# Checklist vs Checklist

The clearest difference is rating: Checklist at 4.7 against Checklist's 3.9. Checklist also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 21). Checklist's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Checklist sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Checklist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checklist has 2.9K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 68% and 68% positive.

Checklist ships an update every 9 days, Checklist every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
